New Jersey’s offshore wind industry is just starting to take root, representing a transformational opportunity for our state, inaugurating a new mode of producing clean, renewable energy for the region and generating pathways for job creation, supply chain investment and workforce development at a large scale. For New Jersey’s small, minority-, women- and veteran-owned business enterprises (SMWVBEs, as they often are classified), this new sector offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to accelerate inclusive economic development through billions of dollars of contract opportunities, significant job growth, investments in human capital and expanded business know-how.Historically, the SMWVBE community has faced systemic barriers to entry into high-growth industries. For example, SMWVBEs often encounter a sizeable disadvantage when competing for supply chain contracts in emerging sectors or are left out of early contracts in new industries. The Garden State’s nascent offshore wind industry presents a unique opportunity to upend this cycle, instead building an industry representative of our diverse population. It’s not just about participation; it’s about providing a significant role for diverse businesses in offshore wind that will create ripples of economic advancement for generations to come.The upcoming award of the third offshore wind solicitation from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities represents billions of dollars of supply chain contracting — a tremendous opportunity for bold action, strategic investment and collaborative efforts that will create a sustainable, equitable supply chain. This opportunity to bring SMWVBE contractors, manufacturers and suppliers into New Jersey’s clean energy economy will uplift our communities and provide meaningful economic advancement, but only if we do this right.Placing value on proposals that prioritize incorporating SMWVBEs into the offshore wind supply chain not only promotes equitable economic growth, but leverages the unique perspectives and skills these businesses bring
